Available to listen to all over the world through [[http://www.joy.org.au/listenlive the internet.]]

* AllGaysArePromiscuous - CampGay presenters tend to embrace this stereotype, injecting innuendo into everything. StraightGay presenters frequently resent the oversexualised image homosexuals have.
* AllLesbiansWantKids - Inverted. It's the gay men making the most noise about same-sex parenting rights.
* CampGay - Comedy hosts tend towards campness. Two Fat Lattes are an example.
* CastFullOfGay - There's no specific rule that you have to be gay to be a presenter, but it obviously helps.
* CelebrityEndorsement - Heaps of these in station promos. Typically [[TakeThatMe making fun of themselves.]]
* DeadpanSnarker - Pretty much everyone.
* {{Gayborhood}} - You will hear the words "Prahran" and "Commercial Road" a lot in advertisements for this reason.
* GentlemanSnarker - A common archetype for StraightGay presenters.
* GayConservative - Hosts of news and current affairs show The Spin tend to cover policy debates from a conservative perspective.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar - Many conversations during the day can degenerate into a HurricaneOfEuphemisms.
* GymBunny - Advertisers compete aggressively for this market.
* HardGay - Rumors about AFL footballers being [[ArmoredClosetGay armored closet gays]] are extremely popular.
* HasTwoMommies - Parenting rights for same sex couples are one of the big issues being fought for right now.
* [[IReadItForTheArticles I Listen For The Music]] - Quite a few men who are straight or otherwise indifferent to gay interests listen because it plays a better mix of Dance Pop and electronic music than the commercial stations.
* LoveHurts - Listening to any of the discussions about relationships make it abundantly clear [[{{Gayngst}} things aren't any easier]] on [[UnusualEuphemism the other side of the fence.]] Bittersweet love songs are very popular.
* PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad - Averted, to the point where political correctness is a favourite topic of satire.
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism - Quite cynical. It's not easy being queer and nobody's expecting that to change in a hurry or by itself.
* RefugeInAudacity - Presenters and listeners alike enjoy trolling the MoralGuardians at every opportunity.
* SlidingScaleOfSillinessVersusSeriousness - To offset the grim realities of gay life, much of the content is fun, frivilous and Camp.

* StraightGay - The majority of the hosts aren't going to beat you over the head with their FABULOUSNESS.
* TokenLesbian - There was a time when there was only one lesbian on the management board. She made a snarky PSA encouraging lesbians to get more involved in the station if they wanted better representation.
